Traveling from the U.S. to Canada with a DUI - your experiences?

If your traveling from the US to Seoul and just changing planes in Vancouver won’t you just stay in the international terminal and never go through Canadian customs. I don’t think I’ve ever had to leave the international area on a layover. You’d need a visa for every stop along the way.

My experience from not long ago on a Denver-Toronto-London flight: I cleared customs in Denver (I don’t have a DUI, BTW) but in the US they don’t check for that. I just showed them my passport and boarding pass and answered a few questions, mostly about luggage and purpose of the trip. No going to the computer. US - Canada is an International flight, so I landed at the international terminal in Toronto. I just walked over to the London gate and got on the plane. I never saw immigration in Canada.

I don’t know one way or the other, for I’ve only been to Vancouver International Airport a couple of miserable times (getting off an plane that had many passengers suffering from the shits, and a video player in the bin across from me catching on fire; then a few days later locked in a radial arm departure corridor overnight and sleeping on the floor along with the rest of the passengers waiting for plane repairs), but it’s website indicates that connecting from USA to Korea at YVR would require clearing Canada immigration.

Things got really awkward when I tried to sponsor the rest of my family.

thanks for the link, i was trying to find that earlier.

i used to travel by plane alot in the u.s, if i had a nickel for every “unusual” story i have, i’d be able to charter my own flt to seoul. and thats not a knock on airports, theyre dealing with hundreds of thousands of people daily; things are bound to go astray.

(now i just have to keep the two different number systems in korea straight in my head. . .:dubious: )

Charters?

. . . hoods in the woods shot holes in the wing while we were landing . . .

. . . my seat slid back on the rails and fell out of the plane with me in it when the plane started to taxi . . .

. . . my barrel pack bumped the edge of the hatch, rolled back down the loading conveyor, and slammed into the back of the head of the cargo loader, knocking him out on the tarmac . . . that was the same flight with the mass shitting and the VCR bin fire . . .

I don’t have much luck with charters.

What happens to a Canadian or dual Canadian-US citizen who resides in the US and gets a DUI in a US state? Any border issues entering Canadathere?

So if you are a Canadian citizen you cannot be denied entry.

Is a Canadathere anything like a Megathere?

“Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”

:eek:

Although I guess that’s better than falling out of the plane when you’re at cruising altitude.
